Default MAF sensor cleaning

Has anyone cleaned their MAF sensor?
If so did you feel a difference afterwards?

I have, but it mustnt have been too dirty, as I felt no difference at all. Im sure it would have an effect if it is dirty.

I did to the old old MAF, used CRC MAF cleaner.

Their claim of 10 extra hp was crap though.

I've used the CRC MAF cleaner aswell on 3 of my cars.

I didn't notice any difference after cleaning it, just done it as a bit car maintenance.

I reckon if the maf was really dirty you would, but if it's pretty clean, like the others have mentioned, you wont notice a differance.

Well I did it on the TE50 and the XR8. Didn't notice any difference on the T but the XR8 seemed to idle better and run a little better(it's one looked dirty). Did my Mazda 323 SP20 as well and notice a massive difference as well.

Default MAF sensor cleaning

Some photos whilst apart on the XR8
First picture is of the tool kit required to do the job. T20H is the right size.

XR8 MAf sensor in place

CRC MAF sensor cleaner

When removed you can see the two wires that you need to spray to clean but never touch them!
